Winner or loser: MAC Harmony

[:en]

Hey hey everyone!!

You won’t believe for how long I was on the hunt for the perfect bronzer…and I could never find just that right one! I once saw one in MAC that I loved, but it turned out to be a limited edition and when I finally had the money to get it, it was sold out and I never got it.. *sad face*

So it’s to no surprise I was almost giving up…until after Christmas I went to my favorite MAC store, not because of the store, but because of the lovely girl that works there! Luckily she was working that day and I asked her for help in finding a bronzer…I explained I wanted it to contour my face and she asked me “Have you ever tried using a blush to do that?” I thought she had gone insane…to me blushes always ring pink and red and coral in my head…that’s when she came up with this:

It’s called Harmony and it’s a MAC blush. Apparently some girl on youtube (I forget the name) filmed a tutorial wearing this as contour and it was a success.

I must admit I was a bit skeptical, but I tried it on nonetheless…and I liked the result!!! It’s kind on the rusty side, but I guess that’s why it works on my skin tone, probably also because I have a natural reddish shade in my hair…

This is how it looks on my skin, on the left after about six swirls of my finger on the blush and on the right after about two. Obviously I don’t make it this dark when contouring, this was just so you guys could see the pigmentation!

I love how this product can go more or less pigmented and suits a good range of skin colors! I have extremely pale skin, be it summer or winter, and I love how I can use this shade without looking muddy (except if I use it too much, of course!). Plus, I can use this not only as contour shade on myself but also as a blush on others!!!

My verdict:

This is a WINNER in what a bronzer or contouring product goes!

I probably wouldn’t use it as a blush, but all in all it is a definite winner!!!

Have a great day!
